sorry, no comics today...
...been feeling a little tired lately, not so much physically as much as mentally. i guess there's just been a lot on my mind these days, nothing really coherent though, just a bunch of mixed emotions; looking forward to graduating (fingers crossed), a bit of anxiety/curiosity about the future, a lil "end-of-term stress", along with a hint of melancholy.
i came across this song a couple days ago (haven't heard anything by these guys for a while), and just found that the ambling melody really set me at ease, helped me relax and just allowed me to reflect a little on these past 16 months that i've spent out here in the "wilderness" that is Waterloo...a wilderness that i've grown quite fond of actually, despite the preconceptions that this West Coast alien originally held when he first landed out here.
enjoy...
100 Years:
"I'm 15 for a moment,
Caught in between 10 and 20
And I'm just dreaming,
Counting the ways to where you are...
I'm 22 for a moment,
She feels better than ever
And we're on fire,
Making our way back from Mars...
15 there's still time for you,
Time to buy and time to lose
15, there's never a wish better than this,
When you've only got 100 years to live...
I'm 33 for a moment,
Still the man, but you see I'm a they
A kid on the way,
A family on my mind...
I'm 45 for a moment,
The sea is high
And I'm heading into a crisis,
Chasing the years of my life...
15 there's still time for you,
Time to buy and time to lose yourself
Within a morning star
15 I'm all right with you,
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you've only got 100 years to live...
Half time goes by,
Suddenly you’re wise,
Another blink of an eye,
67 is gone,
The sun is getting high
We're moving on...
I'm 99 for a moment,
Dying for just another moment
And I'm just dreaming,
Counting the ways to where you are...
15 there's still time for you,
22 I feel her too,
33 you’re on your way,
Every day's a new day...
15 there's still time for you,
Time to buy and time to choose
Hey 15, there's never a wish better than this,
When you've only got 100 years to live..."

yeah, i'm a sucker for these pensive, cheesy songs eh? haha ;) don't worry if this post seems a lil gloomy, there are still plenty (PLENTY!) of "episodes" left in me yet! ( . )

boredom
uy...dunno what it is, just can't seem to get anything done. i'm bored, bored of school/studying/work...i know i'm gonna be kicking myself in around a week once deadlines creep up, but for now my assignments and books just seem to disgust me. well, i guess that means bad news for me, and more "episodes" for you to waste your time on! check out "boredom" ...it can be a dangerous thing, with dire consequences...

tragedy
the sky is dark, the night is cold, and my heart is heavy...as a result of tonight's events, i fear i may not have the heart to blog again for quite some time...
i have never thought of myself as one that is prone to clumsiness, but alas...for tonight's incident there is only me to blame...it guess it was inevitable. i mean, i am living with the "M.O.D." after all, and i suppose it was only a matter of time before i was infected with that "bungular clutzinitis" disease of his.
anyway *sigh* so there i was, happily preparing dinner, when i.....i.....i dropped it *sob* (sorry still a lil emotional here).
poor thing, never got the chance to live up to it's potential. it wasn't at fault, it was all because i was too stupid, not paying attention to the task at hand *sniff*...
if there's one thing good that came out of all this, that lil... *gurgle * sob *...lil piece of lap cheung...really showed me that it's true when they say: "that which you love most, is that which you almost had..." *sob* so true...*weeping and sounds of extreme sorrow*
"why?!...for the love of meat, WHY?!"
what a moron...

whoooo...had a pretty good dinner tonight, was planning on cooking tonight but got a msg last minute to go for dinner @ king tin w/ a bunch of the boys. haven't had dinner out w/ a group of ppl just chillin n relaxin' for a while so it was kinda nice. of course, after having ingested all that greasy chinese food i decided to go for a walk to help it go down (and stay down)...
nice night tonight, lil chilly, but nothing unbearable, and there was a nice full moon...perfect setting for some careful contemplation and melancholic nostalgia...the 'loo can have that kind of effect on people...
i guess it's funny how i used to think it always seemed so stupid/boring when my parents would go out for walks after dinner when i was younger. i never went of course, just stayed home on the phone, or went out n did my own thing, but i guess when you get older (yeah there's me feelin' old again) you start to appreciate the value of a nice, relaxing, quiet solitary walk, giving you time to get some fresh air n clear your head after a long day. pretty therapeutic really, i highly recommend it.

productivity is relative...
yeah so today...i guess was pretty productive. Lunch: had a verrrry nice burger at Kelsey's, "c'est magnifique!" (yes, i was very happy). then let's see, i came home and slept until like 1930, then i got up, and remembered it was time to perform my sacred ritual - The cutting of the meat. then, after that it was time to cook and eat dinner. then i finally tried to get started on this stupid term project for english, got bored of that after like 5 minutes so i made efficient use of my time and packed lunch for tomorrow (even though i don't have class until 1330).
so yeah, school-wise, i don't have a lot to say for myself after this weekend, zero actually...but look on the bright side i can list my accomplishments for the day:
i) Burger
ii)Sleep
iii)Cut Meat
iv)Cook
v)Eat Dinner
vi)Packed Lunch
1, 2, 3...wow!! i surprise myself...and not only did i get through 6 demanding tasks, i finished tabbing the "mo jeu jeu" song!!! woohooo!!
ok that's enough patting myself on the back for now, must get back to work....there's a box of krispy kreme's in the kitchen that needs my attention...

consolation
man, i lost another fierce battle today...
.
.
.
.
...that damn "literati" game! but oh just you wait...when rematch time comes around, i'll be ready >=) hahaha!
anyway so yeah, i spent most of the afternoon trying to work on an english project (the major term project actually), but i couldn't get motivated so when the offer to sidetrack with an "innocent" game came, i gladly accepted. little did i know that what i "thought" would help me relax and get my mind off work would end up causing me undue stress and feelings of extreme low self-esteem, as my opponent effectively wiped the floor with my ass! so of course, after a thrashing like that i had to make myself feel better, and what better way to do that, than the 'F' word!
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
...NO i didn't go barging around the apartment yelling "f*ck this/f*that!" i MADE 'F'. it was dinner time anyway, so i comforted myself by cooking some 'F'ood, Mango chicken to be exact. well, sort of. seeing as how mango's aren't in season, and the ones that they do sell are super expensive, we poor students have to improvise. so, i am proud to present tonight's feature menu item: "poor man's mango chicken!"
(oh, they're canned peaches btw, =P)

peacemaker
*yawn*...ok, so i'm feeling a lil lazy right now....so i guess the entry in which i decide to take on the daunting task of discussing the "R" subject mentioned below will have to wait. but!....before ppl start cursing and throwing rotten meat at me for procrastinating, i'd just like to let you all know that i was ammending a very important and fragile relationship of my own (thank you very much), which is why i haven't had much spare time. for those of you who are nosy and have no lives of your own, i've generously documented this "relationship-repairing" episode for you to view, so you can waste even more time in front of your computer: the surprise. enjoy!

the "R" word
whoaa....some pretty heavy discussion goin on about the "R" word these days it seems..."R"elationships:
yeah i thought i'd write some stuff in here about it, like my take on the whole dating issue and stuff. you know, stuff about what goes on when you're merely in the wildlife "observation" mode (kinda like a safari, just observing, not interacting), or when you've made the decision to go "hunting" (you've scouted a prospect) and you're trying to figure out your next move. of course, whether or not you even decide to go hunting at all is a question in itself: i mean, not everyone likes to "hunt", some like to order-in, or some like "angling" and prefer to let the fish come to them. Some like to play it safe, and some would rather treat the situation in a "do-or-die" kinda way. ok, i'm just typing stupid now...
if you've read this far, you're probably wondering: "man, what the heck is this guy on?!" well if you are, it's not the first time, and that's ok. it's late, and i've got a midterm tomorrow that i haven't studied nearly enough for, i just don't wanna study, but i don't wanna go to sleep yet either, and typing this in here will remind me to put down my "real" opinions later on. i figure i'll take the time to write some "serious" stuff about my attitudes/principles towards this whole dating thing sometime soon. i'm definitely not making myself out to be one to give advice on this subject (some ppl say i should write a book about what NOT to do), but i just thought maybe ppl could give feedback/share their opinions, blabla u know whatever, that's what this blog stuff is for right? ok, yeah...i need to sleep....zzzz......
